Freaky frontal winds over Thanksgiving.

Nice video snd music, thanks! What I can not figure out is when I watch someone do a foiling gybe it looks slow, but when I am doing a foiling gybe it feels very fast.

looks like a great spot. Solid gybes.

Thanks all,
Yes, it "feels" fast. Also feels like your way up in the air when it may only be a couple feet. All the forces of physics /feedback at play is total engagement. Extra bonus for me foiling is the upwind angles. Most of my area is narrow with predominant winds perpendicular to the channel of the lake. I can get up to the wider area in two jibes, that would take six on my fin board. Then I can go deep downwind without having to fight to get back home.

Very smooth foiling

Was someone filming you or did you mount the camera up on a cliff?

Lol,
Camera was up on the patio at my house on a tripod, which is 300ish feet from my boat dock. We have an older Sony camcorder from 2008. I thought, WTH, it's free. I'll set it up and see if I get anything useful. The last scene was with the camera on the dock.

foiling off your back yard, very cool. I grew up backing onto a golf course which we would sneak on and play the 4th, 5th, 6th and finally 3rd holes for free, but windsurfing would have been way better

Yes,
I'm fortunate that I get a lot of foil time with everything rigged and ready to go. My shop is only a mile away, so if my wind app. Is >14 knots, I run home to get some. BUT I'm envious of you guys with the expansive space of bay's ,oceans to play in. Small recreational lake I got to keep my head on a swivel for that radical wind gust and motor boaters about to run me over
